Had an amazing friend treat me to dinner here -…read more Excited to come into a Michelin rated restaurant (2025) - yes I know I have great friends... however, I was overall disappointed with our service. We were told the tables at the front were reserved, however at any given time there was a free one there. We were seated in the back right by the chefs table. Our server was not attentive at all - we had to call for him to place a drink order - and then continue to do so for the rest of the evening. Let me not take away from how delicious our meal was. The carpaccio was delicious. I got the Ragu and my friend got the octopus special. The pasta was cooked to perfection and I the favour in both dishes were amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant for the food!

was really looking forward to my visit to Ardo, especially given its Michelin recommendation, but…read morethe experience ended up feeling a bit underwhelming for me. We started with the octopus croquettes (special of the day I think), which unfortunately leaned quite fishy. The carpaccio was fine, pleasant, but not particularly memorable. As for the pasta, I struggled to find the right words for it; nothing was wrong per se, but it just didn't quite come together for me. I'll admit that I may not be deeply familiar with Sicilian cuisine, and I don't have extensive exposure to it, so this is very much from a personal perspective. Still, throughout the meal I found myself quietly sighing more times than I expected, which probably says enough about how it landed for me overall. It's also possible we ordered the wrong dishes. As we were leaving, I noticed many tables enjoying pizzas and other pastas, which made me wonder if those might be the stronger highlights of the menu. That said, from a Michelin-recommended restaurant, I did go in expecting everything to be solid across the board. The service, however, was amazing. I'd be open to giving it another try someday, perhaps with different orders. But this visit, unfortunately, didn't quite do it for me.

Very knowledgeable about the menu and all the dishes. Very personable and genuine. They bring bread with warm tomato sauce on the side which I loved! I had a pasta dish which was delicious. My gf had the fish was also delicious. (sorry for my lack of adjectives). The owner came by to check on us, which I appreciated. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert. The owner said that he made it himself that morning! It was sooooo goood. Best tiramisu I have ever had, and I am very particular about tiramisu. When we left our server and the owner made sure to say bye and thank us for dining with them. Thoroughly impressed! Will definitely be back. Beaufitul, quaint restaurant.

There is no dine in and no need because the take out portions are plenty and the branding of the restaurant gives it that not too bougie but low key bang for your buck deal!

Reservation was easy to setup online, even had text reminders. We got the summerlicious menu. It features a good selection of proteins for many dietary restrictions.

Service seemed a bit slow, especially to get the desserts out, but overall pleasant. There is at least one stall in the womens washroom where the lock is not aligned, so even putting it into locked position, the door isnt locked. Aside from that, we had a good time.

We…read morewere also curious to try their non-pasta dishes like the Oven-baked turkey breast with gravy, and the Steelhead with orange hollandaise. I was initially worried about the turkey order if it will come out with thick portions of dry, white meat. Fortunately, that was not the case. The turkey was juicy and was complemented well by the gravy and mashed potatoes. The steelhead trout was also good, but just not my favorite out of the 4 dishes we ordered. I would recommend going with the Prix-Fixe menu as it is slightly better value. Just by adding a few more dollars you get an appetizer and a dessert. The Vanilla Panna Cotta and Chocolate Raspberry Tartufo picks we had for dessert was OK. Service we had when we dined was a mix bag. Our waiter was nice and helpful. The food also was served with the complimentary pepper grinding and grating of cheese. The minor gripe I have is the inconsistent and long serving time. Our appetizer was served right away, but our mains arrived much, much later than typical or standard to what I have come to expect from a dine in restaurant. The waiter did come out to acknowledge about the long gap between serving the appetizer and the main. I also remember having to ask for the dessert to already be brought out. Overall, the food was good to great. However, it is a bit pricey. For our group of 4 our bill including tax and tip reached around $160. Our orders included the Lasagna, Pasta arrabiata, a dessert, and two 3-course Prix Fixe menu.

This restaurant came up in my search as one of the best Italian restaurants in the yorkville area so of course I had to give it a try. I was looking at reservations online and it was completely booked so I just tried my luck as a walk in for 1 and the hostess was incredibly sweet and got me seated. I ordered a glass of wine, the beef carpaccio and the cavatelli. Everything was absolutely delicious, BUT the service was incredibly lacking. The carpaccio came out relatively quick, but after that... silence. Not once did anyone come to check in on me, and I was sitting there for at least 30 minutes before finally flagging g down my server to ask about the status of my entree. After that it came out almost immediately. For this seemingly nicer restaurant in one of torontos most upscale neighborhoods, I had high expectations for this restaurant all around.
